Solmyr’s Known World
For an introduction to Aleksei Andrievski’s maps, see the article for Solmyr’s Alphatian Region. This is another of his CC-DOS maps, made by Aleksei in October 1997, then shared on his web site (with an announcement on the MML) in March 1998. Once again, thanks to Remy Monsen for the conversion from CC-DOS to PNG format.
This was the most detailed of Aleksei’s maps, and it’s a real treasure. It shows the Known World at the equivalent of a 24 mile per hex scale, with all settlements of town size or larger shown. The extents of the map suggest that it was based on Wrath of the Immortals, though it actually extends further west than that map, including all of Sind.
All in all it would make for a great player handout. I couldn’t resist adding a version with the font changed to Feinen Bold.
Fan-made Map by Aleksei Andrievski (October 1997)
This is an original map created by one of Mystara’s excellent fan cartographers. For more information on the cartographer, including a gallery of all their maps, see also Appendix M: Mappers of Mystara.
The Atlas has been unable to contact the original cartographer. This map therefore appears here without explicit permission from its creator. Any information on how to get in touch with them would be most welcome.
